Fans of Alton Brown and "Good Eats" were given some good news on Saturday, when he revealed that he will be bringing back the beloved food show to the Internet next year.

Brown confirmed the news last Saturday in a Facebook Live chat with fans, describing the show as a "sequel" to the Food Network show, but without the restrictions of working with a television network. "Good Eats" ran for 12 years on Food Network, before ending in 2011.

"I want freedom to do what I want, and say what I want, and work with the food that I want, without being concerned about what a larger corporate entity might or might not want from that," Brown said to fans of the new venture.

Brown dropped a "Good Eats"-themed hint a few weeks back on Instagram, using an iconic "inside an appliance" camera shot. Then, Brown said he would be pausing from his "Cutthroat Kitchen" duties to focus on a cooking show.

Another reason Brown gave for wanting to film his show for the Internet was to be able to respond to fans directly. After dropping the announcement during the fan chat, Brown immediately began asking fans for their ideas of what food topics they wanted him to cover.

Other news from Brown included the fact that he isn't done working with Food Network. Brown discussed his plans for a "late-night variety talk show" for the channel, and that he would be coming back to host "Iron Chef America," according to Eater.
